You didnt see any movement? Thays what I hope happens to me. All breeding activity stopped for me a couple/few months ago and no signs of pregnancy.
Nice looking pups by the way.....
 
Very nice. Excuse my ignorance, what type are they. They look great, congratulations.
 
They are Mantilla sp.
Thanks all for the comments. Yep, I had no idea at all she was pregnant. She moves around allot and does not stay still long enough to really see any major movement. When I did see something she was getting ready to move to run around the tank, and honestly I thought she was too big for my male who is a whole 9.5inches wide but matured very early in his life. We nick names the female Fatty because she eats a ton and recently has been looking very fat and she is just big for her age, I guess I know why now, she looks less fat after the fact. My motoro at this point in her pregnancy will come to the front of the tank and stay still for a very long time and I can see the pups moving very easily so a drastic difference. I will get pics of the parents soon. I had my male in another tank but put him back in with my female and he bred her in about 20minutes. So I should be expecting more pups from her in another 100 days or so and this time I will be ready and expecting them.
